Kemeseng Sanneh has been removed from the central committee of PDOIS, The Fatu Network understands.
Sanneh emerged as PDOIS’ top official responsible for the youth bureau at the party’s congress last month.
But his role in the party has taken a twist as he is no longer serving in the role, a party official said.
The Fatu Network understands the party removed him after learning he wasn’t a delegate at the congress.
Another person, Aminata Correa, is also no longer a member of the PDOIS executive.
Aminata confirmed to The Fatu Network she is indeed no longer a member of the PDOIS executive.
She said: “I was contacted by the presiding officer two days after the congress over a dispute regarding my status at the congress. I received a letter on 9th of March to clarify whether I was an invitee or a delegate in which I response on a letter dated 10th March 2020 highlighting the fact that I was an invitee not a delegate and that I was aware of the fact that voting rights where reserve for delegates but did not realise that only delegates can be voted for in office until after been voted for in office and our nominated youth rep disqualified base on not been a delegate.
“In the same letter I relinquish my position as Assistant Secretary General and reaffirmed my commitment to the party. I have however not received any confirmation from the party (central committee) in response to my letter or and official statement.”
